Hey Corey,
This is great! I love those quotes. After reading them I'm dying to get back out there and reach others with His love. Very cool. Thanks for posting.
I remember studying David Livingstone in my middle school days. A very famous quote I recall is "Dr. Livingstone, I presume." I think they buried his heart in Africa too. Here's a link I think might help with your search for more reading on his life.
